Can the Lightning safely make the 398 mile (346

nautical mile) journey from Key West Fl. to Cancun,

Mexico? Being that you would be flying accross the

Gulf of Mexico (entirely over water), would this be

something to try?  Charles

 The NXT (only the first was called NEMISIS after the

 designers IF1 racer) 

 kitplane uses a lipstick cam to see forward while

 taxiing, but I think it's 

 on one of the gear.  The Lightning does have a long

 nose anyhow, and 

 although you can see over it in landing, using flaps

 helps to get a better 

 view.  Brian W.

Yes, depending on the winds, but take a life raft.

  

 I'd look for a refuel point on one of the islands (not Cuba) to cut down  the long overwater leg.

  

 I've done 400 nm legs in N17EF.
